Count Financial builds network in June
Nine financial advice practices joined the Count Financial group in June, adding a total of 24 new authorised representatives to the Count network, parent company Commonwealth Bank announced.
CBA also announced that all new firms would now undergo a 12-month coaching program as part of a renewed focus on practice development.
This focus included the April appointment of Judy Clark as senior executive responsible for practice development, as well as a number of new roles and a revised structure in Count's adviser development team, according to CBA.
Count also recently reorganised its business development team, moving to a region-based support structure to allow business development managers to focus more on assisting members with practice management and growth, CBA stated.
The Count statement follows reports of a number of Count practices switching to BT in recent months.
